First sentence: I have spent a good part of my intellectual life tracking what I have called "Alternative America" across time and space from antebellum communitarian experiments in New England and the Burnt-Over District of New York to post-Civil War theorists and reformers in Illinois coal mines and California wheatfields and on to twentieth-century plans for migrations out of metropolises into a producerist countryside.
